The Von Bondies came out of Detroit in 1997 with their amps turned up and their manners left at home. Jason Stollsteimer sang and played guitar, Marcie Bolen played guitar, Carrie Smith held down the bass and Don Blum pounded the drums, and on Lack of Communication in 2001 they sounded like a band raised on scratchy old records and cheap amplifiers, all fuzz and yelp and swagger. "It Came From Japan" is as good a sample of the sound as any.

The breakthrough came with Pawn Shoppe Heart in 2004 and its singles "C'mon C'mon" and "Tell Me What You See", and "C'mon C'mon" in particular is a short, sharp jolt of a hook that grabs you by the collar. They headlined tours of Britain and Europe, Australia and the United States, with bands like the Kills, Kasabian and Franz Ferdinand opening, and turned up on Late Show with David Letterman.

The band split in July 2011. They got back together in 2020 with a reunion tour in the works, only for the COVID-19 pandemic to cancel it, and the members have since moved on to other projects.
